I have noticed a trend that has gotten worse over the years. Games are hyped and then they come out and all the reviews on the major sites give them 9.5's-10's. Which only hypes them up more. The reviews read super positively about the games, and mention no faults (see Metal Gear Solid and GTA4 last year), then after the games been out a while real oppinions start coming out and things kind of cool.
I am hyped about Killzone 2, but I am afraid its the same thing with it. I see a 5 star review coming playing into the hype and my superstition. It may be deserved, but what I yearn for is reviews I can trust. Where a game that gets a 7 is pretty good, and a game that gets an 8 is great. Why does every review for top games have to be almost 10 or the boards erupt in disapproval?
